Thank you all so much for your good wishes, they are obviously working, you have made me quite emotional! I will post back as soon as there is any news, hoping your days go smoothly!

Good Morning all, surya , breezy, and chilly here in Co Armagh
Delighted to see so much good news for lovely posters. , but still thinking of those I’ll and distressed
Nothing planned for today , we will see what happens
DDs birthday tomorrow ( but she is trying to forget it ) I have a present from youngest DD for her , it came in the post and I have it hidden to produce at the appropriate time .. but ... could I find it this morning ? Not a chance , but Saint Anthony was on the ball and there it was , talk about hiding in plain sight !
Loving all the photos on here , out cherry is just starting to break out , but the frost at the weekend coming will put paid to it ?

Good morning from a dull but still dry day here in our bit of Berks.
I had a horrid day yesterday, just couldn't get on top of all my aches and pains. It was also the start of my second chemo cycle, and infusion. The nurses are lovely and were so concerned that an X-ray of my back was done before I left the hospital. When I was told that I had to lie in my back, then on my left side, I did wonder whether I could do it, but we managed, with the radiographer manoeuvring me minutely into position.
Boy, you have to be fit to be ill!.
So pleased that NanKate's biopsy was clear.
Best wishes also to all the mums and their babies that are due now, or soon.
My Acer, that I planted last spring, has sprung into life and the leaves are showing red. I did wonder whether it would survive the winter. Another success, at the moment, is my Morning Glory seeds that I planted on 22nd April, are germinating, and so far there are about a dozen baby sprouts, on the kitchen window cill.
I think it is a lazy day today, doing not a lot.
Nice to hear that Cherry had a quiet night, and maybe manage some sleep.
Gosh Marydoll, that's a lot of hair, even if it's not all yours. I am sorry that you have not had your infusion for so long, I wish I could give you some of mine.
Have a good day one and all.

Back again to catch up on your news Roses much relief, you must feel lighter now. Harrigran fingers crossed your DH gets the all clear for Friday. Exciting B9 how quickly news changes. And muse oh dear, that doesn’t sound the best of days, hoping today is an improvement.
Marydoll nearly every day you have to gird your loins for another chase up, it must be so wearing when you have enough to contend with.
Lovely pictures today all, thank you.

Good news for NanKate and Roses, hope things go well for your DH harrigran

Ok back again.

Painkillers are beginning to kick in, so I am lazing and scrolling GN! (Trying to keep out of trouble ?)

Beautiful photos, and much excitement with expected concerns regarding new babies.

It never rains but pours in Marydoll world

It’s DD’s birthday today, she has gone back to bed as The Imp was part most of the night, it is definitely his back teeth. We are supposedly going out for late lunch /early dinner to a local (ish) gastro pub with lots of outside seating, a close eye shall be kept on the weather. If not it will be a take-away of her choice.

*part???? *awake Grrr!

We are now all on pins I expect BB9 waiting to hear your news - I know I am! Will pop back late later on to check.
Hope all goes well this time around - at least the midwives will be aware of your daughter’s past history. x

Apologies - B9exchange of course - sorry.

Just had a cryptic text 'making slow progress'!

Good morning. Cloudy here in West Sussex but no rain. Those in the north and west who have rain, please send it this way (but not tomorrow when I’m going to see the tulip displays at Arundel Castle!).

All the photos are lovely - except Marydoll’s which is “different” ?. I had my hair cut just before they closed in December and now have to wait until 29 May for my appointment ?.

I love these Yorkshire rivers Alygran. The Derbyshire ones also Beau.

Hope all goes well and baby arrives safely B9. Hope for news soon on the other babies due this week.

Dogs you need to make sure there are no spaces between your asterisk and first letter (and same at end) I have learnt the hard way ?

We have to look at flooring samples and make a decision soon. I hate making decisions!

I have decided to have some more coffee - have the best day you can GMers ???

Good morning Mick and all from a mixed up weather wise day on the northwest Lancashire coast. I hope you bump into someone you know soon Mick, just a little chat helps the day along at the mo.
I MUST jetwash the large back patio, but am using my flu jab reaction as an excuse and will paint another abstract. Also no one is coming and I’m really feeling the cold, would really like to turn the heating back on. As I face the Irish ‘ocean’, last road before the sea, it seems colder inside than out.
Lost my mojo today, but send thoughts to Cherry Marydoll and B9exchange and all with troubles.
A flamingo used for croquet in a pop up book (I collect them)
There is a tab to pull and the flamingo goes up and down ?

As a relatively new poster to this thread, can someone please enlighten me on the pink flamingos?

Good morning from a cool north of Scotland and thankfully the garden has been well watered by considerable overnight.

I had to go out yesterday to pick up some wood stain for the fence and saw various police cars and police vans. We are in a tourist destination and the road has been very busy since last Friday. All the holiday homes are full and there are lots of adverts asking for cleaners, more so than usual as apparently people are booking for two nights at a time so people are having to do laundry and cleaning three times a week. All the hotels and cafes have marquees outside and it looked as if there were going to be wedding receptions all over the place! The atmosphere is very festive but I will be sticking to online shopping for now. People everywhere and not a mask in sight. We drove into the supermarket car park, as usual. And as usual, drove back out again. Staff serving at the cafes outside were not wearing masks so I am very confused about the rules.

The nights are so cold I’ve had to refrain from doing a garden centre visit but soon. I can’t imagine how much I’ll spend as the list is getting longer every time I watch a gardening programme.

Harrigran. What a worry.
NanKate. So pleased for you
Marydoll. You have a “good Scots tongue” so I happen you get a result when you exercise it.

To all, have the best day you can.

Ugh. Overnight rain

B9, it has become a little arcane... When my DGD Iris had her first operation to straighten her leg before lengthening in November, I got her some Lego. She was thrilled and told me about it, adding that there “even was a random flamingo” in the pack! It was picked up by other GMers and is now well established.
Someone suggested that 8-year old Iris had become our mascot, with flamingos as motifs. ?????

Litterpicker, how dare you cast aspertons on my photo! I'm extremely hurt!

Feelingmyage, I used my guid Scots tongue and have my second jag tomorrow at 11.05!

Well done Marydoll. I might emulate you if I haven’t heard by next week. Hope you are going local (not loco) for the jab.

Going to my My GP surgery , as I'm a shielder. I was anxious because they missed me the first time and I had a battle on my hands.

I was already with my spiel about hospital treatment being postponed until my second jab, when the receptionist offered me an appointment for tomorrow! I was speechless! ( for a change!)

Well done Marydoll could you ring my SiL's surgery as he has fallen through the cracks and although over 50 cannot get his first jab for love or money.

Litterpicker thank you for your advice. You can teach an old Dogs new tricks.
Morning everyone. Fresh and grey here but that's great. Hope everyone has a restful day as possible .
